LOL, ok then know that we know wtf your talking about we can help. I have dumps on my car and they will make it louder in the car and around it. But actully it seems to be quieter then exhaust out the back in terms of sound coming from the car. I like it alot, but be warned you will get vibrations at lower engine speeds when you give it alot of throttle. nothing some higher rpm's can't fix and it does not bother me. I will say that with Flowmasters its gonna drone like crazy inside the cab.

i acctually ran my sixxer with no muffler for about 2 months, and when i say no muffler i mean it got unbolted from the y pipe and dumped right underneth the drivers seat. boy do you wanna talk about drone, from 1500 to 2500 rpm the car just freakin rumbled. it sounded great from the outside, but i got tired of yellin at the honeys riding shotgun. so i bought a glasspack and some pipeing

Yes, but I would ask them to angle them slightly to help get the exhaust fumes out from under the car. Which brings me to another point I forgot to tell you about. You will get alot more exhaust fumes in the car when stopped if its windy and its going to the front of the car its gonna get all inside the car. Trust me I know, you just learn to deal with it and roll the windows up at stops or have the a/c on max when stopped.
